.TH CURLINFO_CERTINFO 3 "12 Sep 2015" "libcurl" "libcurl"
.SH NAME
CURLINFO_CERTINFO \- get the TLS certificate chain
.SH SYNOPSIS
.nf
#include <curl/curl.h>

CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_CERTINFO,
                           struct curl_certinfo **chainp);
.fi
.SH DESCRIPTION
Pass a pointer to a \fIstruct curl_certinfo *\fP and it is set to point to a
struct that holds info about the server's certificate chain, assuming you had
\fICURLOPT_CERTINFO(3)\fP enabled when the request was made.

.nf
struct curl_certinfo {
  int num_of_certs;
  struct curl_slist **certinfo;
};
.fi

The \fIcertinfo\fP struct member is an array of linked lists of certificate
information. The \fInum_of_certs\fP struct member is the number of
certificates which is the number of elements in the array. Each certificate's
list has items with textual information in the format "name:content" such as
\&"Subject:Foo", "Issuer:Bar", etc. The items in each list varies depending on
the SSL backend and the certificate.
.SH PROTOCOLS
All TLS-based
.SH EXAMPLE
.nf
int main(void)
{
  CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
  if(curl) {
    CURLcode res;
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://www.example.com/");

    /* connect to any HTTPS site, trusted or not */
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, 0L);
    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYHOST, 0L);

    curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_CERTINFO, 1L);

    res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

    if(!res) {
      int i;
      struct curl_certinfo *ci;
      res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_CERTINFO, &ci);

      if(!res) {
        printf("%d certs!\\n", ci->num_of_certs);

        for(i = 0; i < ci->num_of_certs; i++) {
          struct curl_slist *slist;

          for(slist = ci->certinfo[i]; slist; slist = slist->next)
            printf("%s\\n", slist->data);
        }
      }
    }
    curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
  }
}
.fi
